Role

Edinburgh Food Project provides food and other everyday essentials, support, and advice, while working with individuals, communities, and partners to address the root causes of poverty.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the fight against poverty. 

We are looking for someone who is an amazing communicator, highly organised, and digitally savvy to help us end the need for foodbanks for good. 

This is a varied and vital job at the heart of our Fundraising team: you will lead on marketing and communications, designing and delivering campaigns, appeals and engaging content for our donors and supporters as well as managing our website and social media platforms. In addition, you will support effective internal communications and work with the Chief Executive to respond to press enquiries. There will be ample opportunities to get involved at the frontline of fundraising and with the wider work of the organisation.

While this role sits within our Fundraising team, fundraising or charity experience isn’t necessary - you may come from another marketing background or be looking to take your career in a different direction.  

You will likely have experience in a communications or marketing role and excellent working knowledge of social media and marketing platforms, a positive attitude, and a commitment to the vision, mission, and values of Edinburgh Food Project. 

If you think that the following words describe you, then we want to hear from you: 

• Well-organised 
• Helpful 
• Efficient 
• Kind 
• Enthusiastic 
• Problem-solver 
• Creative  
• Accurate  
• Confident 
• Adaptable 

Edinburgh Food Project offers a range of benefits including generous annual leave, competitive salaries, flexible working, and training opportunities.
